The Assessment Session<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sit down together \u2014 in person or over video \u2014 and work through a structured set of questions about your technology setup. It takes about an hour. You don\u2019t need to prepare anything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Written Report<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within a few days, you receive a professionally formatted report covering six areas of your business technology: infrastructure, software and productivity, security, business continuity, remote work, and policies. Each section includes findings and specific, prioritized recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Your IT Maturity Stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your report includes an IT Maturity Stage rating \u2014 a plain-English description of where your organization currently sits on a five-stage scale, from ad hoc to optimized. Most small businesses are at Stage 1 or 2. Knowing where you are is the first step to getting better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
$750. One meeting. A report that tells you exactly what to do next.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It starts with a free, 20-minute First Light Call, so we can make sure it\u2019s a good fit before you spend a dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who This Is For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Seed to Sapling is designed for small businesses and organizations with roughly 10 to 20 people who don\u2019t have a dedicated IT support partner. You might be handling technology in-house, or just not handling it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a good fit if any of these sound familiar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- You\u2019re not sure if your data is actually backed up \u2014 or when it was last tested<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019ve added tools and apps over the years but nobody has a clear picture of what you\u2019re using or why<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A security incident, a staff departure, or a hardware failure has made you realize you\u2019re more exposed than you thought<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You want an outside perspective before signing a long-term IT contract with anyone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
About the Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no obligation beyond the $750. The report is yours regardless of what you decide to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, many clients use the assessment as the starting point for an ongoing relationship with treehouseIT. The report gives us a shared, documented picture of your technology \u2014 which makes everything that comes after more focused and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019d like to explore what ongoing support looks like, we\u2019re happy to talk about that after you\u2019ve had a chance to read the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
